Sky coach Tyler Marsh revealed that it was an “organizational decision” to suspend Reese for half of a game.

They also said that the decision was made from the “top down.”

“Just going to handle it internally, and that’s kind of what it’s been,” Marsh said.

The Sky released a statement about the suspension following the decision.

“The Chicago Sky values the safety, respect, and well-being of every player,” the statement said.

“We are committed to accountability so our players can stay focused on playing basketball.

“Because of statements detrimental to the team made by Angel Reese during league-mandated media, she will not play in the first half of the game on September 7 against the Las Vegas Aces.

“This matter has been handled and resolved internally, and we are moving forward as a team.”

Reese is already serving a one-game suspension on Friday after picking up her eighth technical foul of the season.

She made scathing comments about her teammates this week, saying she is “not settling for the same s— we did this year.”

Reese also said that the Sky has “to get great players” this offseason.

She also named dropped teammates when making the statements.

“We can’t rely on Courtney [Vandersloot] to come back [from her ACL tear] at the age that she’s at,” Reese said.

“I know she’ll be a great asset for us, but we can’t rely on that.

“We need someone, probably a little younger with some experience, somebody who’s been playing the game and is willing to compete for a championship and has done it before.”

Reese apologized for the comments she made on Wednesday.

Marsh said he spoke to her about the comments but wouldn’t give details.

Instead, he said “the matter has been resolved, and we’d just like to focus on tonight.”
